This win, which gave the Cubs a 24-21 mark (though not before Wade Davis almost blew a three-run ninth-inning lead), put them three games over .500 for the first time in 19 days. They moved to within half a game of the first-place Brewers in the N.L. Central.
Anthony Rizzo is a noted streak hitter, always has been and likely always will be.
He’s now hitting 10-for-27 (.370/.500/.926) over his last eight games with five home runs (and only two strikeouts!). Streak, begun! Hopefully this will continue when the Cubs finally get out of this miserable Chicago cold weather and to warm southern California for the next week.
